Confessions of the Sullivan Sisters by Natalie Standiford
Each of the three Sullivan sisters has committed a crime against Almighty, their rich and powerful grandmother. She threatens to cut their entire family out of her will, leaving her vast estate to Ponchos for Puppies (the most ridiculous charity on earth) if the culprit who has most grievously offended her does not make a full confession. Each of the sisters writes an explanation of her secret crime. Funny, smart, and a little bit juicy, this book will please older teen readers looking for great characters and lots of surprises.
